hack happy

My full bodied XJ on 33s got so I couldn't close the doors or hatch if I was flexed a bit... good luck.

Also, put me in for the "when will that 35 on 35s explode" drawing
 
to be fair, the unibody was probably already twisted before he "flexed" it out.

you guys are tuff crowd :kissyou:

NEEDS MORE TRIANGULATION

I am a back yard booty fabber and I can tell you that. Yikes.
 
Yeah check out some of the unibody strengthening kits on the market, probably a good idea before you get anymore " hackhappy"

Maybe some tube to make up for everything you cut as well

i have went thru a couple build threads about that. i mite ton my rig and that seems to be a must do.

i want to ad some bars like this : http://i33.tinypic.com/2ntis5j.jpg try and keep it simple

those bars are useless unless they are attached to some sort of internal cage inside of the cab. you still have zero triangulation with something similar.

can we have a board wide spelling bee?
antidisestablishmentarianism.

what do i win? :D
 
just a thought, but how about using the rear of an mj cab? i bet the lines will line up better, and you can steal some of the side of the cab to fill the gap where the side windows used to be in your xj.
 
so i am building the back of the cab to be removable. if i go wheelig during the summer or at some point it may be nice to be able to open the back of the rig up.

.070 t6 clad aluminum should resist corrosion pretty well and its good and rigid. the steel frame i built i am installing steel riv-nuts easy to drill out if one gets fubared. i got some 2x3 3/16 tube to build some bars out of and some 1 inch round tube to weld on to the bed as a nice long hand rail kinda like a old truck bed.

heres a pic with the aluminum rough cut it will get some lexan windows and a slider door. i was turning some bolts around noticed one side had contacted the exhaust.
